All to get an Aldi gift voucher probably of no real value at all. From the spelling in the text it seems to be of US origin.
Its not just a US problem. I'm in the UK. It could be a PUA; a potentially unwanted application, running in the browser on your Phone/PC. In the end I reinstalled the offending browser (Firefox ver 60.??). A full anti virus/anti malware check showed nothing abnormal. The problem occurred on both my PC's and an android hand-held. There "Survey's" are a vector for data harvesting (malicious or otherwise). I suggest You install an app that prevents unwanted scripts running in your browser. The downside is of course the monitor web browsing of necessity.
